COVID-19 pandemic restrictions might have negatively affected the health-related physical fitness of children and adolescents. The aim this study was to contrast body composition data two independent samples adolescents obtained from an online database (DAFIS project) before (n = 15,287) during 2101) first academic year pandemic. results revealed higher values for mass index (p 0.002), waist circumference < 0.001), hip height ratios 0.001) than pandemic, particularly in case boys.

Endurance capacity can be assessed by field test such as Cooper's test; however, reliability and accuracy are rarely reported in the literature. It was our aims to describe of long distance runners. Fifteen male runners performed twice all-out a 400 m track. Total covered, maximum heart rate (HR) perceived exertion were recorded. Bias correction factor (Bc) used main dimensions calculated an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), effect size (ES) agreement analysis. Accuracy for total HR...

This study was designed to evaluate the influence of maturity status in inter- and intra-session reliability curvilinear sprinting (CS) compare half-CS trials with complete CS trials. Forty-two youth basketball players from an elite academy (13.1 ± 1.7 years; 166.7 16.2 cm; 57.2 17.0 kg) performed two sessions three each on both right left sides seven days separation between sessions. The predicted peak height velocity (PHV) used establish players’ (pre-PHV, n = 14; mid-PHV, post-PHV 13)....

Background: Several studies have created and validated accelerometry cut-off points to categorize intensities of physical activity (PA); however, there is not specific in pregnant women. Pregnancy promotes physiological biomechanical changes that can modify quantitively the relationship between movement energy expenditure. The aim this study was develop validate for light moderate-vigorous PA (LPA MVPA respectively), at each trimester pregnancy. Methodology: 31 healthy women completed same...

This study compared the ability to predict performance in half-marathon races through physiological variables obtained a laboratory test and Cooper field test. Twenty-three participants (age: 41.6 ± 7.6 years, weight: 70.4 8.1 kg, height: 172.5 6.3 cm) underwent body composition assessment performed maximum incremental graded exercise evaluate aerobic power associated cardiorespiratory metabolic variables. Cooper's original protocol was on an athletic track recorded were covered distance,...

Assessing physical fitness has emerged as a proxy of the health status children and adolescents therefore relevant from public point view. DAFIS is project included in Plan Galicia Saudable (Healthy Plan) regional government (Spain). consists an on-line software devoted to record results standard protocol carried out part education curriculum. The aims this study were: obtain normative values Galician school population evaluated project, identify reduced number components tests able capture...

Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis is an autoimmune syndrome characterized by the acute or subacute onset of encephalopathy, memory loss, confusion, temporal lobe seizures, and behavioral mood changes. Although most patients with paraneoplastic have antineuronal antibodies, advances in field now permit diagnosis without autoantibody test results. In this case illustrating new diagnostic criteria, we report a 70-year-old woman who was brought to emergency room after cognitive impairment,...

The main aim of this study was to analyze the effect resistance training programs differing in set configuration on mechanical force-velocity profiles. Thirteen participants performed 10 unilateral knee extension sessions over 5 weeks. Each limb randomized one following configurations: traditional (4 sets 8 repetitions at maximum intended velocity, 10RM load, 3-min pause between sets) or interrepetition rest (32 velocity repetitions, 17.4 s each repetition). Velocity repetition recorded...

Background : Half-marathon races have become increasingly more popular with many recreational athletes all around the world. New and runners are likely to greatest need for training advice set running paces during long-distance races. Purpose To develop a simple equation estimate half-marathon time from Cooper test verify its validity. Methods One hundred ninety-eight (177 men 21 women, 40 [6.8] years 33.7 [8] years, respectively) participated in this study. All completed 7 10 days prior A...

Background Resistance training is hardly recommended for postmenopausal women to counteract negative effects of hormonal changes. However, some concern exists about the marked hemodynamic responses caused by high-load resistance exercises. In this regard, studies on young, healthy, physically active individuals suggest that set configuration can modulate acute cardiovascular, metabolic, and cardiac autonomic sessions, but has not yet been explored in women. Methods A sample 60 (30...

Increased metabolic demands during pregnancy modify energy needs and substrate oxidation regulation (f.e. glucose metabolism); also, acute responses to exercise may be impacted by gestation. However, changes in expenditure rates along the whole are poorly described. PURPOSE:: To study on walking (WEE) trimesters of pregnancy.
